Rex and the Rhythm (Rex) is a multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter, and producer who spent his formative years hanging around the music studios of international superstar, Eddy Grant, on his historic plantation in Barbados. Rex started playing the drums at nine. He later picked up the guitar and bass. At 15, his mother put him in the band she co founded named Cover Drive, a Carib-pop band, which inked a deal with Polydor Records in the UK in 2010. The band, with Rex on drums and co-vocals, scored a number one hit, “Twilight," on the UK Official Chart in 2012. That same year, Cover Drive went on to score a total of three UK top tens, multi-platinum and silver singles, and open for Rihanna and Kelly Clarkson. After graduating from Full Sail University in 2020, Rex released his debut EP, 127 Solace in 2021. His solo sound has all the feel good elements of his previous band’s sonic with a bit less Caribbean and more alternative R&B vibes. Now based in LA, Rex and the Rhythm is set to release his debut album, Secrets Behind Our Smiles in February 2023. His current single, Nice Guy Anthem, is out now on all music platforms.
